The IRS did not begin to accept or process 2020 returns until February 12; a state e-file could not be accepted until the federal e-file was accepted, so not sure why you think it has been such a long time---it has been less than three weeks.   And...unfortunately, IL is not known for being very fast to issue refunds.   If the state wants any additional information from you they will send a letter.

Only IL can advise you as to the reason, as it does not notify TT.  But it could just be a generic "we're still working on it" message.  Also see this, especially # 9, What if I am counting on my refund for something important?

@mattosiris How long did it end up taking for you to receive it? My status says the same thing.
